Titanfall 3 is one of the most anticipated games among fans of the sci-fi shooter series, which features fast-paced action, giant robots, and rich lore.
However, the game has not been officially announced or confirmed by Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind the franchise. So, when can we expect to see Titanfall 3 on PS5? Here is everything we know so far.
Is Titanfall 3 in Development?
The last game in the series, Titanfall 2, was released in 2016 and received critical acclaim for its gameplay, story, and multiplayer modes. However, the game did not sell as well as expected, partly due to its release date between two other major shooters, Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
Despite the disappointing sales, Respawn Entertainment has not given up on the Titanfall series. In 2017, the studio was acquired by EA and announced that a new title in the Titanfall series was in the works, along with a Star Wars game and a VR title.
The Star Wars game turned out to be Jedi: Fallen Order, which was released in 2019 and was a huge success. The VR title was Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, which was released in 2020 and received mixed reviews.
However, the new Titanfall game was put on hold, as Respawn focused on developing and supporting Apex Legends, a free-to-play battle royale game set in the same universe as Titanfall.
Apex Legends was launched in 2019 and became a massive hit, with over 100 million players as of April 2021. The game has also introduced several elements from the Titanfall series, such as characters, weapons, locations, and lore.
Respawn has stated that they are still committed to the Titanfall franchise and that they have not abandoned or forgotten the fans. In December 2020, Respawn’s community coordinator Jason Garza said that the studio was still working on the Titanfall series, but that it only had one or two people on it, as most of the team was busy with Apex Legends.
He also said that the studio could not reveal any details or plans, as they were subject to change.
Titanfall 3 PS5 Release Date
Titanfall III, according to Titanfall Fanon Wiki, will be released on March 11, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo Switch. On December 7, 2023, the game was unveiled during The Game Awards 2023.
What Platforms Will Titanfall 3 Be Available On?
If Titanfall 3 is released, it will most likely be available on PS5, as well as Xbox Series X/S and PC. The first Titanfall game was exclusive to Microsoft platforms, but the second game was also released on PS4.
Since then, Respawn has also released Apex Legends and Jedi: Fallen Order on PS4 and PS5, so it is unlikely that they will limit their audience by making Titanfall 3 exclusive to one platform.
However, it is unclear if Titanfall 3 will also be available on PS4 and Xbox One, or if it will be a next-gen-only title. The game might require more power and performance than the current-gen consoles can offer, especially if it features improved graphics, physics, and gameplay.
Alternatively, the game might be a cross-gen title, with different versions for different consoles, or with backward compatibility.
It is also possible that Titanfall 3 will be available on other platforms, such as Nintendo Switch or mobile devices. Respawn has already ported Apex Legends to Switch and is working on a mobile version of the game. However, these versions might have some limitations or compromises, such as lower graphics, fewer features, or different controls.
What Can We Expect from Titanfall 3?
Since Titanfall 3 has not been officially announced or confirmed, there is no official information or details about the game. However, we can make some educated guesses based on the previous games in the series, as well as the feedback and requests from the fans.
One of the most likely features of Titanfall 3 is a single-player campaign, similar to the one in Titanfall 2. The campaign in Titanfall 2 was widely praised for its story, characters, level design, and gameplay, and was considered one of the best campaigns in a shooter game.
The campaign followed the story of Jack Cooper, a militia rifleman who became the pilot of a Titan named BT-7274, and their mission to stop the IMC from using a superweapon. The campaign featured several memorable moments, such as the time-travel level, the Titan boss fights, and the emotional ending.
The fans would love to see a continuation or a spin-off of the story of Jack and BT, or a new story with new characters and settings. The campaign could also explore more of the lore and history of the Titanfall universe, such as the origins of the Titans, the factions, the planets, and the conflicts.
Another likely feature of Titanfall 3 is a multiplayer mode, which is the core of the Titanfall series. The multiplayer mode in Titanfall 2 was also praised for its gameplay, variety, and balance, and was considered one of the best multiplayer modes in a shooter game.
The multiplayer mode featured several modes, such as Attrition, Bounty Hunt, Capture the Flag, and Last Titan Standing, as well as a co-op mode called Frontier Defense. The multiplayer mode also featured several customization options, such as different types of Titans, weapons, abilities, and cosmetics.
The fans would love to see more of the multiplayer mode in Titanfall 3, with more modes, maps, Titans, weapons, abilities, and cosmetics. The multiplayer mode could also introduce some new features, such as split-screen, cross-play, ranked matches, tournaments, and clans.
One of the most requested features of Titanfall 3 is a connection or a crossover with Apex Legends, which is set in the same universe as Titanfall.
The fans would love to see some of the characters, weapons, locations, and lore from Apex Legends in Titanfall 3, or vice versa. The connection or the crossover could be done in various ways, such as a shared story, a shared mode, a shared event, or a shared update.
For example, Titanfall 3 could feature some of the legends from Apex Legends as playable characters, or as NPCs in the campaign or the multiplayer mode. Alternatively, Apex Legends could feature some of the Titans from Titanfall 3 as playable vehicles, or as enemies in the map.
The connection or the crossover could also explore the relationship and the conflict between the two games, such as the origin of the Apex Games, the role of the IMC, and the fate of the Frontier.
Conclusion
Titanfall 3 is one of the most anticipated games among fans of the sci-fi shooter series, but the game has not been officially announced or confirmed by Respawn Entertainment. The game will most likely be available on PS5, as well as Xbox Series X/S and PC, and might also be available on other platforms.
The game will most likely feature a single-player campaign, a multiplayer mode, and a connection or a crossover with Apex Legends. However, these are just educated guesses, and players should wait for an official announcement or confirmation from Respawn or EA.
